  Trouble with the reshape effect

  Posted by Nicccc on March 11, 2006 at 10:33 am

  Hi

  I’m doing a very simple animation of a moving mouth on a still, with the face on the lowest level, then the teeth, then the lower lip and the upper lip on the top level. All I’m doing is moving the upper and lower lips (monty python style). To keep the mouth slightly more mouth shaped I’ve applied a reshape effect to the upper lip so that when then mouth is open the top lip is pulled down in the corners like a real mouth would be.

  This works great…..for about the first second then the top lip stays in the distorted form for the rest of the sequence. It doesn’t matter if I copy/paste key frames from the start of the sequence; delete the offending keyframes and redo them; or set the reshape percentage to some other value and back to 0% it just stays the same and will not return to its undistorted shape.

  Any help would be appreciated-thanks

  Nic

  Ok I sorted it, I changed the interpolation method from smooth to discreete. It then renders what the key frames should be as opposed to what it thinks they should be.
